The Senate had turned Republican and Senate Majority leader Mitch \u201cThe Turtle\u201d McConnell wasn\u2019t about to let Obama put yet another progressive on the bench.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/clown-mcconnell.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-18610\" src=\"http:\/\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/clown-mcconnell-201x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"201\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/clown-mcconnell-201x300.jpg 201w, https:\/\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/clown-mcconnell-686x1024.jpg 686w, https:\/\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/clown-mcconnell-500x747.jpg 500w, https:\/\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/clown-mcconnell.jpg 736w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 201px) 100vw, 201px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Obama put forward Merrick Garland as his choice to replace Scalia. Garland is currently a judge on the D.C. circuit court of appeals. When he was nominated, people started looking into his rulings and his writings and didn\u2019t like what they saw. To begin with, Garland never met a regulation he didn\u2019t like if it favored the government, and he was not fond of the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> Amendment. Because of this, McConnell sat on the appointment and wouldn\u2019t let hearings be held on Garland.
